Like most eBook readers, your Kindle Paperwhite will use its system clock or internet clock server to display time and apply a date and time stamp to every book you read, including the PDF files you send or receive through it. However, when the server is unreachable, the Kindle clock may stray too far from the correct time. This problem occurs especially when you are moving to a different time zone. So, if you see any mismatch in timing details, set the time on Kindle Paperwhite manually to make it work properly.
